Joint-Simulator

The joint simulator for satellite sensors (Joint-Simulator) is a suite of software that simulates observations that satellites (Hashino et al. 2012).
The Joint-Simulator can simulate EarthCARE observations from numerical weather/climate model outputs, developed by the JAXA EarthCARE mission and the Joint-Simulator team.

The main aim of Joint-Simulator is to simulate the signals from EarthCARE's four sensors, Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) with Doppler speed sensor, Atmospheric Lidar (ATLID), Multi-Spectral Imager (MSI), and Broadband Radiometer (BBR), for purpose of validating the aerosol and cloud fields simulated by Cloud Resolving Model (CRM) and General Circulation Model (GCM).
